Milaha acquires its largest containership

Milaha acquires its largest containership
As it continues the expansion of its boxshipping services Milaha has acquired its largest container vessel to date.

The 3,768 teu, Majd is set to join the Qatar company in the coming weeks as its containership fleet swells to 17 vessels.

Milaha’s president and ceo Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai said, “The new vessel is part of our strategy to optimise our container shipping network with larger tonnage to meet increasing customer demand for capacity and cost efficiency in a highly competitive market. Majd will be phased into our existing network and will gradually replace smaller tonnage.”

Milaha has undertaken a major expansion of its container shipping services after Qatar came under sanctions from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt last year.
